I wrap my asparagus in pancetta and grill it. Then use a lemon cream sauce(cream, lemon zest, dash of lemon juice and white pepper-heated thru) to serve it over with diced chives. Stuffed pork tenderlion, spinach/ricotta/ground pepper/scallions, homemade applesauce with fresh apples & cinnamon, grilled squash and a pear crisp with harvest pears and cinnamon topped with oats and brown sugar.

Start with one dish and make it over time until you get it the way you like it. Then another, then another. In 6 months you will have 40 interchangeable dishes that are perfect!!!

slice your filet in half, so you have two pieces like a sandwich. In the middle place lemon slices, whole scallions or sliced onions,then top with 1 tsp butter, on the other half rub a crushed piece of garlic, You can wrap in foil and pan roast, grill on the grill, or broil for just a few minutes on each side, or until cooked through. I serve with a lemon butter to lightly drizzle over the top. Some people take it apart and take out the insides, but I slice it so that I get all the stuff in the middle too. If you like quiche, then make a quiche lorraine, with an additional cup of broccoli diced small, and 2 cups shredded cooked salmon, from the recipe above. It really adds flavor!!

Oops forgot, put the filets back together like a sandwich.

LTG, I think that is a great idea to make stockings for both GDs....I think I will make that a plan!
Gia, I love doing that with chicken and making "beer can" chicken; that's a great BBQ method. I love asparagus, but absolutely NEVER out of a can (mushy, mushy, mushy).
Oney, We can all cook great meals for you on this side of the pond when you come!
